Question

What is

`({ - 2})^(3)`
Will it be positive or negative? Why?​

Answer 1

Ok so (-2)^3 means -2 x -2 x -2

Now -2 x -2 = 4
Because minus into minus is plus

4 x -2 = -8
Because minus into plus is minus

Therefore, we can see that -2 x -2 x -2 = -8

Which is the same as saying (-2)^3 = -8

Answer 2

answer is -8
why ? Because there’s only a number that’s negative so if one number is negative then the answer is gonna be negative
